Wine and craft beer on the Bypass in Kill Devil Hills, no pretension required
Restaurants, cafes, and eateries near Cape Hatteras National Seashore
The Outer Banks has a dense strip of restaurants running the length of the northern beach towns — Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head — with the widest range of seafood, casual, and fine dining options concentrated around Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills. Expect longer waits and shorter off-season hours outside the summer months, as many restaurants here are seasonal businesses.
